Jacob Peck solo guitar
Jakob Pek is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and poet whose work brings together many realms, traditions, and languages into a single continuum of music. His solo performances interweave the piano, percussion, guitar, and spoken word into a seamless unfolding of sound, song, and silence. Born in Vancouver, B.C., raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, and currently residing in Oakland, California, Jakob's work offers listeners excursions into and out of the unimaginable while presenting re-envisioned interpretations of traditional musics and insights into the contemporary culture of the American West Coast.
